Who's with me?

[dabro]

Okay guys. when my OCD would try to convince me to answer the ? that would pop up into my head I used to. All the time I thought that was what I was supposed to do. Then one day It just came to me not to answer the ?. I am on meds but, some day I would like off of them. Yes I still have anxiety scarred from the OCD (floating) but, nothing like when I was pulled into the endless maze of answering hwether or not I was dead. I just stopped answering like example I would say well I see my car and my friends so I must not be dead but, that was the very thing that fed it. I guess I'm just blessed to have the same theme and knowing how to deal with it. If you do your reasearch you'll find that ruminating is that, answering the ?'s that pop into your head. Now I'm with all of you cos I know the struggle. So who's with me.? WHo here wants to get better. Love you guy's. stay strong!

I think that OCD is caused by a lot of fear. Maybe if you can find some way to let it go into God's hands you might find a way out.
I think it's also caused by the desprate need for peace & comfort.

Yes these things are true. I was on another forum and someone posted a rude response to what I was trying to explaine. This was on a totally different website and it cut the heart and well Now I'm back in the vicous cycle but as you can tell guys I'm all over the palce. One minute I'm encouraging then falling down then seeking peace and it just gets over whelming. I was on Klonopin but, I wanted off of it and me and my doc did a slow taper and now I'm here just dealing with the anxiety. It's the best route to go honestly because it teaches you ERP and technics to deal with the anxiety without med's. Love you all here I'm so blessed to know you guys.

The enemy totally used that person to get to you. He knows how to get to you, the creep, so DON'T let him. BTW, what is ERP??

 

[dabro]

Exposure Response Prevention. It teaches you how to overcome the anxiety with CBT skills and prevents you from ruminating the thoughts over and over instead it teaches you to just let the anxiety be there. Don't ask or answer why it's there but just let it sit and eventually it will reduce in time.

Not answering the questions is def. the answer. I went through a period where I had a certain "theme" stuck in my mind. And I seriously asked a 1000 questions related to that theme, and I tried to prove my answer. It was a horrible up and down rollercoaster, my anxiety was skyrocketing. I finally decided to begin telling myself "my understanding is so limited, I will never know all of the answers, and its ok". After doing that solid for about 2 weeks, the questions dissapeared. And what seemed at the time, like I NEEDED to get an answer to all my questions, now it's not a big deal.

Hello,

We should all get together and pray for you and your OCD and other afflictions of the mind

I read the book of James today

James 5:14-20

These verses are for you I believe,

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, I pray that Dabro, the person who is one of your children will be healed of his mental afflictions. I pray that you take away his sin and shame and show your love and mercy to him. May you deal with him gently and may you show him the right and narrow path to take in life, may he recieve understanding and discernment from you and may he learn to rely on you, The true living God. Please hear my prayer not by anything I have done but by having faith in Christ Jesus I pray that these things will come to pass and that this person may have peace and joy. I also pray that others will come to his aid and help him as well so that he may be equipped for every good work and so he may shine his light and be a blessing to others and help them.

In the name of Jesus, Amen or so be it.

 

[Sasha37]

Amen! How are doing today, dabro? Thinking about you and praying for you. I'm going to pray through scripture for you today. I have found that there is alot of power in that. God bless you!

 

[Sasha37]

I asked God how I should pray for you, and He lead me to Psalm 34. So I prayed through that chapter for you. You might want to read through it yourself. I think it will encourage you. Blessings!
